I’ve always wanted to get into video production and now that the tools are available for anyone it’s become a dream come true. Originally seeking a journalism career out of high school I had one big problem…stage fright! I didn’t get past my first year in college. Enter the edit function and not being live. I love this stuff. This is my third video produced. Two are on YouTube (another misc last year as a Christmas gift)
Eventually I plan to create some full length DVD’s once I get a better camcorder. Actually the closing video of me at the end was done with a Sony DSC-H9. With good set up lights I think it turned out quite well with regard to the lighting…albeit a little light. Sill pics are old.
Doesn’t look like the YouTube code works here??

Excellent, informative bare bones. Just what I like in getting a lesson.
Thanks guys! I've taken most ideas from videos I've looked at and things I dislike. Number one on the list is the introduction. I still need to shorten it. I don't usually hang around if someone wants me to watch their 15-30 second intro with pretty little animations and cool effects.
That's what designers are all about, same as some people that do websites. They think it needs the latest eye candy. I have very little real video to work with; hence all the still shots. Now that I've moved, I can't get any locals (contractors) involved because they don't understand what it can do for them.
I talked with one guy the other day who could definately use the exposure because his business is in the pits. I tried to explain to him what I would like to do and it would cost him nothing. In return his business gets exposure on the web by way of site url, and location shown on the bottom of the video for about 20 seconds in the beginning and end.. That's it. No costs to him whatsoever.
His reply and interest went like this..."we'll think about it"
Anybody in the metro Atlanta area interested? Preferably north of the loop(I-285)?

very nice. Is it hard to do? what program are you using for editing?View Image “Good work costs much more than poor imitation or factory product†– Charles GreeneCaliforniaRemodelingContractor.com
Just a quick note about user uploaded video on FHB.com...
we are doing testing right now that lets logged-in members link to videos on youtube, etc/ and play on FHB.com pages.
there's just this "one little problem..."
when we get if fixed, I'll make the announcement.

I found a guy I hadn't talked to or seen in a few years in my area. We're going to get together on concrete grinding. Apparently he has a good system that includes dust containment. Be nice if I could get it together before the end of the year.
AND....
a real video camera is on the way!

Btw, no radiant heat. Another great topic to get on video!
